I've just buy a new printer/scanner, and as the documentation found on the web on how to setup the printer falsely instruct me to download some third-party driver, I will explain here how to set it up:

for the printing part, plug the printer, ask cups to look for new printer, and add it to cups. It just work.

for the scanner, it doesn't work as easily. After having installed xsane, go to /etc/sane.d/xerox_mfp.conf, and add:

<pre>

# Samsung SCX-3400
usb 0x04e8 0x344f

somewhere in the file.

then copy /lib/udev/rules.d/60-libsane.rules to /etc/udev/rules.d/60-libsane.rules, and add:

You don't need to download samsung unified Linux driver for it to work.

By the way, Dear lazy web, I was wondering. In gimp, when I ask it to create a new image using Xsane, the menu give me the choice between the "Device Dialog" or my webcam. Is there any way to have my scanner there?

I think you need to escape the '#' characters introducing comments, as they currently result in headings.

I just work, and it's cool

@Anonymous: I don't realy now what driver I use, and if it is splix or
not. As a printer, it work in a "I just plug into my debian, asked
cups to add a new printer, and there it is. The pilot
I used is Samsung SCX-3200. The fact that I've no non-free package
installed that is related to printing.
